Midland Industries 77276 Reducer Coupling 2in X 1-1/4in Copper

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 77276 is a copper reducer coupling with stop designed for sweat (solder) connections in plumbing and hydronic systems. It transitions from a 2-inch connection on one end to a 1-1/4-inch connection on the other, with an internal stop that controls insertion depth for consistent, repeatable solder joints. Rated to 400 psi and suitable for operating temperatures from 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for reliable performance in pressurized copper piping applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when a line reduction is required between two copper pipe runs.

This reducer coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and HVAC condensate or chilled-water piping where a sweat-connect transition from 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch copper pipe is required. The integral stop ensures both pipe sections seat at the correct depth before torch soldering, reducing the chance of voids in the joint. It is appropriate for use with Type K, L, or M copper tubing in water supply and closed-loop systems.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2-inch to 1-1/4-inch copper sweat connections in a single fitting
• Internal stop controls insertion depth for consistent solder joints
• Rated to 400 psi for use in pressurized water systems
• Operating temperature range: 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• All-copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat fitting for use with standard 2-inch and 1-1/4-inch copper tubing in residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux both pipe ends and the fitting sockets thoroughly before soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Allow the fitting to cool completely before restoring system pressure.
